“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
– Alfred D. Souza
A man parks his car at a hotel and suddenly knows that he has lost all his fortune.
What happened?
Ever since I started this blog I’ve been portraying autumn. In my opinion the best season of all if you’re into Photography. In Sweden it’s one of the warmest start of September, ever.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman
I hope you have a good start of the week.

Today is my birthday and I’m trying to start a new tradition. Getting up early and the take a long walk together with my camera. This is the first photo from that walk.
Best wishes for the weekend

This is a story (as Heroin Diaries by Sixx A.M) that’s 16 minutes and 36 seconds long. It’s a story of a kid, that grew up, and all through life just had one wish, to be loved by his closest.
I guess this story isn’t that strange, and uncommon. Still it is a thoughtful story by W.A.S.P. For all music fans; even if you know the history of Blackie Lawless, he and Nikki Sixx used to play in the same band, “London”. As one of my friends said; this may be the inspiration for Nikki Sixx to share his inner thoughts in Heroin Diaries?
Don’t miss out on this piece of music history. Thank you J for the tip!
This is a series of photo from 1938 of how women were supposed to act when they went on a date. It seems like the world has moved in the right direction since then 🙂

What a beautiful car this is, and what a great future all car fanatics still can dream for. This is the new Porsche Spider Hybrid which you can travel around 20 km purely on electricity but whenever you need more power the petrol engine kicks in. All together the system power is around 900 horsepower! Not bad!

I almost can’t believe that this is possible to stage. Especially the sequence where they are driving as a cross. Respect.
This video really made me think about the modern way of spending time with each other. The topic is far from new, but I think this short movie really put its finger on today’s society, and I’m the first to agree that I’m absolutely one of those who should think more about this.
So, why are we always “on our way”, instead of grasping the moment we’re in?
Yesterday I were in Norrtälje, together with some friends. On our way there, we walked along this road, and this view, with the trees that’s preparing themselves for Winter, the road and the small typical Swedish houses was amazing. Really looking forward to best time of the year when it comes to photography, the autumn.
On top of the photo I’ve added some filters, and then added the “painting like” effect.
Lenny Kravitz overheard some music from The Voice of Praise Choir (First Baptist Church in Lewisville) and desired to crash in.
Don’t miss out on talented Simon Stålehags amazing paintings of a Swedish Sci-Fi Suburbia. Awesome work.

Today I came across another of those “romantic stories”, and since I recently published another of those stories I thought that I could post this as well.
I hope you enjoy it
Here in Stockholm it has been an amazing August day. Blue skies, people everywhere and it almost feels like the summer is still here.
What I enjoy with Sweden, and Swedes is that we almost never miss out on an opportunity to have a great day / evening when the sun is shining.
Back at home I started – as always – to listen to some music, and this awesome track started playing in my speakers. What a great autumn song!
Best wishes for a great “lill-lördag” tomorrow
This must be one of the most prepared, and creative proposals ever.
Respect to “Isaac”!
This is a short Swedish Story I found on the internet. A story with a single and easy, but not less important punchline.
A little girl – with very demanding parents – had problem in school. The more the parents nagged, and tried to attract her attention with all imaginable kinds of rewards for her to do well, the more distanced she became from school. She was also “all over” in class and disturbed all her class mates.
But then one day, one month into the semester, she came home from school with a smile on her face. The next morning she went up early and did her homework and went straight to school, which became routine thereafter.
In the parents meeting, held during the semester, the parents knew that their daughter had made good progress, and that she was very talented. Now that she was motivated, everything went easy on her.
The principal explained that it was largely due to a special teacher who had started at the school which their daughter took particular liking to. The parents asked the daughter to show them to that amazing teacher to thank him. When they met him, they discovered to their surprise that he was dumb.
– How can this man be a teacher, exclaimed the father, he can not speak!
– But he can listen, replied the daughter.

This weekend has been all about crayfish party, both Friday and Saturday evening. Yesterday we stayed at a friend’s house in the archipelago and this photo was taken at the sunset. I really appreciate autumn, and I’m already looking forward to all those colors that we will have all around us very soon.
Best wishes for a new week
This clip really put many good parts together. Driving a car (1), in high speed (2) through a beautiful autumn (3) forest (4), and recording it with a camera (5).
I’ve always enjoyed my own photos quite dark, and today I found an artist / photographer who had taken “the dark” a few steps further with some beautiful photos, Brooke Pennington.
I really like the tone and the atmosphere in his photos.

This was a surprise to me; Ashton Kutcher as a role model, that makes an inspirational speech.
It seems like Steve Jobs, while he’s not among us anymore still seems to inspire others to inspire others to amazing things.
WOW!
These photos surely were taken at a moment that were gone fragments of time after.
